Chiefs signed DL Vance Walker to a three-year, $13 million contract.

Walker will replace Tyson Jackson at left end in Kansas City's 3-4 scheme after spending the last five seasons as a 4-3 defensive tackle. He started 15 games in 2013, finishing with 40 tackles and three sacks. Walker should provide his most impact in sub-packages, where he'll have opportunities to rush the passer. He figures to wind up playing around 60 percent of the defensive snaps. Fri, Mar 14, 2014 07:31:00 PM

Walker was scheduled to visit the Packers next but won't make the trip. The soon-to-be 27-year-old can push the pocket some and play the run. He's mainly been a 4-3 defensive tackle but could replace Tyson Jackson at left end in Kansas City's 3-4. Walker started 15 games in 2013, amassing 40 tackles and three sacks.

Free agent DT Vance Walker is visiting the Chiefs Thursday and is scheduled to meet with the Packers after.

Walker, 27 next month, has been a solidly productive interior lineman for the Falcons and Raiders the past two seasons. He plays average to above-average run defense and has eight sacks the past three years. Walker could be an option to replace Tyson Jackson at left end in Kansas City's 3-4 defense.

Depth Charts

Smith infamously failed to throw a single touchdown pass to a wide receiver across 15 starts, but the Chiefs seem to have embraced his risk-averse playing style, and Smith still finished with a 65.3 completion rate and 18:6 TD-to-INT ratio before missing Week 17 with a lacerated spleen. "We’ve got to put some more pieces around him," said Dorsey. "But I think he’s lived up to what we thought he could be." Turning 31 in May, Smith is signed through 2018.

That might do it for Bray's career. The big-armed 2013 UDFA spent all of 2014 on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain, and has never attempted an NFL pass. The Chiefs have Alex Smith, Chase Daniel and Aaron Murray ahead of Bray on the depth chart, and recently signed Terrelle Pryor.

He'll be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Gray is under contract through 2015 and should be back to compete for a roster spot. De'Anthony Thomas will replace Gray as the Chiefs' No. 3 back.

Harris broke his foot in Week 10. The former college basketball player with 4.52 wheels at 6'7/257 caught just three passes for 20 yards as the No. 3 tight end this season. He should be good to go for the entire offseason program. Harris remains an intriguing prospect for deep Dynasty leaguers to monitor.
